How do I view or open an application/applefile that somebody has sent to me,

Somebody who uses an Apple computer has scanned and sent me a document (Applefile) to my email as an attachment.
When I want to open it, a box opens and Firefox asks me
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with ¨Browse ¨,
or Save file.
I want to open this file, but do not know with which application I am suppose to open it,
nor do I know how to find such an application.
I use Open Office, and normally Firefox chooses for me how to open something, but sadly not this time.
So, I do not know how to open this file.
Who can help me?

See if the answer in this thread helps you. <br />

The easiest thing to do might be to ask the sender to resend that attachment using a different email program, or by web mail.

Make sure the pdf has the '.pdf' extension on the file name. I've seen this a few times and adding the extension usually solves the problem.

How to turn off "re-open all application windows"

How to turn off "re-open all application windows". Even though its unselected in preferences. my computer still tries to do this and causes startup problems and delays. its been a hangup since lion. when are they going to fix this???

Try this. . .
You have two choices. You can choose that your applications not resume their previous state when you shutdown or restart the Mac by deselecting the checkbox that appears prior to shutdown:
Or you can navigate to the General pane in System Preferences and deselect the Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps option. However, if you do this, applications will never resume their previous state, even when quit and restarted during a single boot session.

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do???

Aperture is asking to upgrade library every time I open the application, even after it has already been upgraded. I just ran the update and it is still not fixed. What can I do??? My plug are asking me to re-register them too. This is annoying. Please help!!!!!

How do you try to start the repair dialogue? By starting Aperture or by opening the Library?
If you not already have tried it with directly opening the library:
reveal your Aperture Library in the Finder
Whilst holding down Command(⌘)- option (⌥) double click on the Aperture Library.
Select "repair library" from the dialogue.
What about Frank Caggiano's questions above?
It would be really helpful to know, how many libraries you have, and if this problem is restricted to one of them.

HT201077 How do I view photos saved to "the cloud" that are not in my latest thousand??

How do I view photos held "on the cloud" that have dropped off the phone, ie, are not in the latest 1000 stored.
I cannot seem to find this "cloud"!

hi guys thank you for the replies, sorry I have been away.
I am confused then - I have had to buy more icloud memory recently (2 of us use it with phones etc and so share pics, music) but I thought this was because its saving more photos?
So no idea why I have to buy storage if you now say photos arent saved?
If gone from the last 1000 they are lost? I dont have a Mac just iphone/ipad.
Sorry if Im getting it wrong!

How do I view the list of wireless routers my ipad has successfully authenticated with, and if possible when the last connection to each was made?

How do I view the list of wireless routers my ipad has successfully authenticated with, and if possible when the last connection to each was made?

The information is of course stored on the device, but currently thee is no way to get to it. It is unknown whether iOS stores the date info for each connection.
As to whether a program can be written, its likely it can, but unlikely it can be done by anyone other than Apple, as by design, 3rd party Apps are not allowed to core system functions like that so its unlikely any App could list your connection history.
As has been said to remove a single connection from the iPad you need to be in range of it, tap the circle on the right side of the router name, and then tap on Forget this network.

How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections. The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections? The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it. Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.) It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad. If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350. Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

I try to log into my Apple ID and it says that it has sent a E-Mail to my Apple ID to vertify that it is me, I understand that but what I don't get is that I can't get onto my account to click open the E-Mail to vertify myself. Any Help?

This is on the Apple ID manage and create page, this has happened to three of my accounts and I seem to get to the same exact spot and it just contradicts itself and won't let me log on at all. I have hooked up two E-mail accounts to the Apple Account and Vertified the accounts through the E-Mails sent to the external E-Mails but it still doesn't let me get into my Apple E-Mail at all.

I logged in changed the primary E-Mail address to a different one, vertified it then tried to log in it said either to send an E-Mail to veritify again or to do my security questions, so I choose to do the security questions and put in my Birthday like it asked and it said that it was wrong and I had to authenticate it to get in, why is it so hard to just set up a Apple ID really though!
So I tried the E-Mail to and it has not sent me an E-Mail then I tried to log in again and it has locked me out of my account so I try to recover my password and it gave me the same options to get my password back and both options are doing the same as before, it says I don't know my on birth date or it is wrong or needs authenticate it, then the E-Mail doesn't come through!
This is just stupid now.

I try to open itunes it says that it has encountered a problem

every time i try to open itunes it says that itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i did this with my original cd and it says quicktime wasnt installed so- i updated itunes and it still has the same problem what do i do?

so i upgraded to the new itunes and its installed but when i went to remove quicktime/itunes, itunes was there but quicktime wasnt and i cant open itunes now it says it has encountered a problem
okay, let's try this first.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
after the PC restarts we'll do a repair install of itunes.
go to your Add/Remove programs. select itunes, click "Change", and select "Repair".
that should install a current version of QuickTime for you.
if the repair install goes through okay, restart the PC again, and try to launch itunes. does it launch okay?

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

How do you view all open images without opening each tab?

I have been using CS2 for ages, and recently switched over to a recent version of Photoshop. I'm using a mac. In CS2 I was able to drag my mouse to a corner of the screen and view all open files. Can I still do this somehow? Or do I have to open each tab to see the image? I'm looking for a quick way to view thumbs of all my images. Please help!

If you dislike tabs turn off
Photoshop > Preferences > Interface > Open Documents as Tabs
Photoshop > Preferences > Interface > Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And maybe try
Window > Arrange > Tile

How to view cc files on a computer that only has photoshop cs6

I have the new version of photoshop on my computer that only allows me to save files as: photoshop cc. However, I would like to transfer these files to view on a computer, which is at school, that only allows me to view files from photoshop cs6 or older (cs4, etc.). I would like to work on projects on my personal computer at home and finish them on the computer at school. So, how can see my files that are in creative cloud on a computer that only has photoshop cs6?

Need a little more information. Never heard of a Photoshop cc file, maybe I'm missing something. When you save a file the first time there is a drop down menu allowing you to save the photo as a number of different file extensions, i.e.. PSD, tiff, jpeg. There is no photoshop cc. File uploaded to your folder on the cloud retain their extensions.

How do I fix or open a corrupted file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically email

How do I fix or open a corrupted PDF file that has been corrupted by some sort of programmatically emailing?
Please see the following screen shot:
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h292/Athono/pdfproblem_zpsbd9bdc00.png

Well, it is a pdf file, and it once was a readable one, I suppose.
It must have data on the hex or binary level that can be retrieved.
If necessary, I will have to look into the file format of a PDF file? Is this documented?
